'World's oldest person', dies aged 115.
From the article:

A Dutch woman, the world's oldest person on record who swore by a daily helping of herring for a healthy life, has died aged 115, the ANP news agency reported.

So, when she died, someone else has become the 'world's oldest person,' so, in all fairness, can the world's oldest person ever really die?

Comments:

Excellent point, Frank.

Also, do I have to start eating herring? Because I don't want to die, but I also don't want to stop boozing/smoking/whatevering. Do you think herring will help?
